What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • compare_metros

    Compare wages for one occupation across multiple metro areas. Pass a list of 5-digit MSA codes (e.g., ['47900', '42660', '12580'] for DC, Seattle, Baltimore). Returns the specified wage measure for each metro. Use list_common_metros() to find codes. datatype: '04' (Annual Mean, d

  • compare_occupations

    Compare wages across multiple occupations in one location. Pass a list of 6-digit SOC codes. Returns the specified wage measure for each occupation. Use list_common_soc_codes() to find codes. Up to 50 occupations per call.

  • detect_latest_year

    Report the OEWS data year this server answers from. OEWS releases annually in spring, and this server bundles the current release. Every tool defaults to that year. When BLS publishes a newer release, a new package version bundles it.

  • get_data_status

    Report which OEWS release this server answers from and where it came from. Returns the bundled data year and release, the BLS source files with their SHA-256 and publication dates, the retrieval date, and row counts. No API key is used or needed.

  • get_wage_data

    Get wage data for an occupation by SOC code. This is the primary tool for querying BLS OEWS wage statistics. occ_code: 6-digit SOC code without dash (e.g., '151252' for Software Developers, '131082' for Project Management Specialists). See list_common_soc_codes() for common mappi

  • igce_wage_benchmark

    Get wage benchmarks formatted for IGCE development. Returns annual and hourly wages at the mean and the 10th, 25th, median, 75th, and 90th percentiles (25th/75th are the usual junior/senior anchors), plus estimated burdened hourly rates using the specified burden multiplier range

  • list_common_metros

    List common metro area MSA codes for wage lookups. Use these codes with get_wage_data(scope='metro', area_code=...). Pass the 5-digit MSA code (the tool auto-pads to 7 characters). For the full MSA list: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/msa_def.htm

  • list_common_soc_codes

    List common SOC code mappings for federal IT and professional services. Use these codes with get_wage_data() and other tools. SOC codes are 6 digits without a dash (e.g., '151252' not '15-1252'). For the full SOC list: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm

Common questions

Is BLS OEWS safe?

It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 9 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.6) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?
